How it works

Open your inventory and click on food or drink item in third person while sitting in any regular chair/standing, and your character will play an eating animation of the food item you have chosen.

All cups have liquids in them. Drinking wine will choose a random cup or goblet filled with wine, ale, milk water etc. In third person removing item from bag Sound effects will play and then eating and drinking sounds during animations (makes no sense to have double sound effects playing). You can choose to eat as many items as you would like and the mod will only play the first item you have chosen. You cannot interrupt the animation with another food item, and the food items wont clip with each other or stack on top of each other and take forever. You can change the length of eating and drinking animations, force
